Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition

1. Summary/Introduction:

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, a Major Subordinate Command of DLA, is the contracting activity for bulk petroleum products and services for the Department of War (DoW). This Justification and Approval (J&A) is for the acquisition of personnel to manage the Additive Injection System at Yokota AB, Japan. The existing Misawa contract SPE60318C5025, awarded July 25, 2018, is for a four-year base period, one five-year option period, and a six-month extension option to Ahntech Inc. (Ahntech). The following justification is presented to support the decision to award new work via a contract modification to Ahntech for the remainder of the option period effective November 01, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and a six-month extension option from September 01, 2027, through February 28, 2028. The estimated total dollar value for this acquisition is

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (FAR 6.303-2(b)(2)): This Justification and Approval (J&A) authorize and documents the use of other than full and open competition to procure personnel and management services for the Additive Injection System at Yokota Air Base (AB), Japan. This requirement will be executed as a bilateral, out-ofscope modification to existing Contract SPE60318C5025 awarded to Ahntech and is funded by FY26 Defense Working Capital Funds. The period of performance consists of a ten-month base period extending from November 01, 2026, through August 31, 2027, alongside a fully evaluated six-month extension option extending from September 01, 2027, through February 28, 2028. The statutory authority permitting this action is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
Ahntech, the incumbent contractor currently executing identical bulk petroleum and additive operations at Misawa AB, is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Government's requirement without causing unacceptable delays. Ahntech possesses the requisite specialized technical expertise, cleared personnel, and a fully established logistical footprint within the Japanese operational theater. Market research indicates that the abbreviated duration and localized scope of this requirement present prohibitive barriers to entry for alternative vendors.
